By Omar G | Season 1 | Episode 8 | Aired on 12.10.2001
Back at House Party 2001, Clark is eyeing Lana, who is sitting on a couch. Jocko Whitney walks in wearing a big black leather coat, having for once ditched his letterman jacket. Jocko suddenly seems cooler than he has for the entire run of the show. He says "hey" to Lana and tells her he's been looking for her. He asks why she didn't tell him she was going to the party. She says she didn't think she needed permission. He asks to speak with her outside. As they leave, some random girl starts gossiping, relaying what just happened to someone else.
In the barn, Jocko asks what's going on. Lana says that when they got back together, she said she needed some breathing room. They broke up? Recently? He thinks she's sneaking. She thinks he's just pissed because it's Clark's party. "I'm starting to get the feeling you don't trust me," she says. Just then, the whole barn starts shaking. Everything rattles. Lana runs back to the party to get Clark.
When Clark enters the barn, Jocko is up in the loft holding a pitchfork. He calls Clark, "Kent!" and tells him to get up there with him. Clark does. He turns on his mighty Phallic Flashlight and aims it at an object huddling by the wall and covered in canvas. As they edge up to it and creepy music plays, the shape stirs. Jocko pokes the shape and the canvas flies off, revealing a sweating, freaked-out Jitterman. Clark tells Jocko that he knows the guy, and to back that pitchfork up. Clark asks Jitterman what he's doing there. "I came to see your dad," Jitterman says heavily. "He's the only one I can trust." Clark tells him that Bo Duke is out of town. Jitterman starts to shake. "What's wrong with you?" Clark asks. He puts his hand on Jitterman's knee, but it glows green and he pulls it away in pain. Great. Not only does he jitter, but he's got kryptonite knees. Jitterman shakes some more. "Call an ambulance!" Clark announces. It's your house. Call it your damn self.
Hospital. Jitterman is pulled along on a stretcher. He's got a tube in his mouth. A green one.
Pepsi machine. Chloe gets herself a drink from the machine. She sits down with her product placement and says that Jitterman should be in a rehab center. Clark doesn't think the guy is a junkie. Chloe is wearing a weird red outfit with black trim that makes her look like Santa Claus's slutty daughter. She's even showing some cleavage. Clark mentions that Jitterman tried to teach him guitar to impress girls when he worked on their farm, but Clark kept breaking the strings. Just because you know someone doesn't mean you know their deepest darkest secrets, Chloe says, ingraining the themes of the show yet again. She asks why Jitterman left their farm. Better pay, pretty much. Just then, a pair of cops come in looking for Jitterman. Clark gets up, asking if his former hired hand is in trouble. "Oh yeah," one of the cops says, regretfully breaking his code of silence. They all hear a yell and scramble down a hallway toward a hospital room.
